The irony is just to sweet to ignore. How could you do such a thing. And I thought you all were against affirmative action... But if it's a white person, well I guess it's easy to affirm that action...

as the valedictorian and the school board decided to elevate a white kid so it was a "shared" experience.

was/is the valedictorian of her class. However, because of her color the school would not recognize her as such. It broke my heart. At least I think that's what the OP is referring to.
